Figure 135: Creating a new View
The fields in this dialog box are as follows:
If your map contains a large number of nodes, you may need to eliminate the device names and node
icons from the display, and reduce the font size in order to fit all the map elements onto a map with
adequate spacing.
When you click OK , a new root map is displayed. If the Auto populate view option is not selected, a
new blank root map is displayed. If Auto populate view is selected, nodes, submaps and other map
elements are created based on the current EPICenter inventory. The new view name appears in the
View field at the left of the icon bar.
Each newly created map within this view inherits the current view’s map-specific properties for display
node names, display node icons, and map node font size.
View Name The name for the view. The new view name must be unique.
Auto populate view Check to add the devices currently in the EPICenter inventory database to the new
View.
Submaps and hyper nodes are created as needed. In addition, as new devices are
added to EPICenter, they are also added to the view. If you do a Discovery after
you have created a view with the auto populate option enabled, all new discovered
devices are added to the view. See
“Node Placement Criteria in an Auto Populate
View” on page 293 for detailed information.
View Alarm Status Threshold The lowest alarm severity level for which the alarm icon should be displayed. If the
level is set to one of the higher levels, then lower-severity alarms will not cause an
icon to appear.
Map Specific Properties
Display device names Uncheck to hide device names on the maps. The default is to display the names.
Display node icons Uncheck to use plain boxes to indicate map nodes instead of icons representing
specific device types. The default is to use device icons.
Map Node Font Size Change the size of the font used for map node labels (names, annotations, IP
addresses, and so on). The default is a 12-point font.
